In a career spanning nearly 50 years, Isaac Asimov - science writer, historian, and futurist - accurately predicted how technological breakthroughs would be developed and utilized, years before they became reality. His foresight envisioned calculators, computerized cars, and advances in the field of robotics as chronicled in such popular books as I, Robot; Robots and Empire; and The Robots of Dawn.

Robot Dreams spans the body of his fiction from the 1940s to the mid ’80s, featuring all of the classic Asimovian themes - from the scientific puzzle and the extraterrestrial thriller to the psychological discourse. In addition to the title story (a Locus poll winner and Hugo and Nebula Award finalist), this collection features several of Asimov’s robot tales. A robopsychologist must outwit a machine determined to stay hidden in "Little Lost Robot"; a woman’s talent for "Light Verse" overshadows her true accomplishments with her robot servants; "The Last Question" presented to computer after computer over a hundred billion years may remain forever unanswered…and 17 more future visions from the grand master of science fiction.

Absolutely amazing. Genius work of grand design by Isaac Asimov. But requires a bit of patience and much preferably reading all the previous books (the short stories all the way up to the Naked Sun) to fully appreciate. Of course, you must follow this book as well by reading the Empire series and then the Foundation series too. So fricking epic and mind expanding.

OMG this is absolutely amazing.

Given the decades that have past since these stories were written, it is remarkable that the relevance of the topics and questions that Asimov wrestles with about humanity and technology still remain important to us today. These stories are entertaining, heartfelt, and thoughtful.

What is it to be human?
